My cat loves this tree. He loves it so much that recently we moved and I was looking for him a new one but ended up ordering this exact one again. The grey doesn’t look cheep and he lives for that bowl.  I did have some issue with the top part loosing its springiness after two years but I took the top off and used it at a free standing tree. I didn’t even bother to put the ceiling attachments on this time because he’s getting old and isn’t as rough any more.
